Sometimes “Cats Are Mean”, sometimes cats are cute, and sometimes they’re both, but if there’s one thing all cats exude, it’s cool. Cats stride around with a collected confidence and utter grace, always one step ahead of the curve without a care in the world. And why not? From their perspective, they run the world without ever having to get up from their nap. And in fiction, this is no exception: evil or no, cats are graceful, collected and unshakably cool – the shades-wearing cool cat who never misses a beat is a popular version, as is the witty cat who never has to stop relaxing, or the impeccably collected feline, but the most dominant trait is that air of never having to lose their confident demeanor. If combined with “Cats Are Mean”, this can result in cats being aloof. Even so, evil cats are often “Affably Evil” for precisely this reason… Combining with “Cute Kitten” can result in cats being both cool and cute. Sometimes, the cool cat is a “Sexy Cat” as well. For big cats with badass qualities, see “Panthera Awesome”. Contrast “Buffoonish Tomcat” and “Cats Are Mean”, even though the latter can overlap with this trope… ~ Cool Cat – TV Tropes
